Peep Show

Cleveland Browns: The Browns started out the season with two healthy quarterbacks, but now
they don't have one. Tim Couch sprained his thumb and was knocked out of
the game. He had X-rays during the second quarter, which were negative.
"It's pretty sore," he told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "But thankfully I
have the bye week to let it heal." Kelly Holcomb came in to replace Couch,
but he's still recovering from a broken right fibula and torn ligaments in
his right ankle. "It's still pretty sore, but it's going to get better,"
said Holcomb. It's expected that after the bye week coach Butch Davis will
name Holcomb the starter, but he wouldn't say for sure Sunday. "We'll have
to see if he's 100 percent," Davis told the Plain Dealer. Now the same
could be said for Couch.

Philadelphia Eagles: For the second time in three weeks, RB Brian Westbrook was sidelined in the
second half by an injury. Westbrook was forced to leave Sunday's 24-17 win
over the Jets early in the third quarter with a high left ankle sprain. "I
don't know how bad it is, but I never like hearing those," coach Andy Reid
told the Philadelphia Inquirer. It's uncertain how long Westbrook will be
out of the lineup, but the Eagles have already had bad luck with that type
of injury. Rookie DE Jerome McDougle sustained a high ankle sprain in the
Eagles' final preseason game against the Jets on Aug. 28, and he still has
not played in a game this season. Luckily, Philly is deeper at running back
than at any other position on the squad. In Westbrook's absence, Correll
Buckhalter and Duce Staley combined for 147 yards on 24 carries.
